Episode 53: Victoria Harwood Butler-Sloss

Check out an especially lyrical episode of This Is Happening! This week, Nathan and Eric warmly welcome Armenian-English author, actress, and filmmaker Victoria Harwood Butler-Sloss to talk about her first book, The Seamstress of Ourfa, an epic and sweeping tale of a family forced into exile by genocide. Inspired by her own family history, Victoria conjured a trilogy tracing a family's journey. The Seamstress of Ourfa is the first book in that trilogy and spans the turn of the nineteenth century in the Ottoman Empire to 1960's Cyprus. Victoria's vividly captures Armenian culture and a lineage of amazingly strong women. By turns hilarious, achingly romantic, and devastating, this book's magical beauty is undeniable. Victoria also tells us about her origins as a dancer in London, her training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and her career as an actress in British film, television, and theater before moving to Los Angeles with her husband and starting a family. In addition to writing epics, Victoria is a mother, voice actor, and filmmaker. If you're in New York, don't miss the chance to see Victoria reading from and speaking about The Seamstress of Ourfa presented by Harper's Magazine on Thursday February 7 at 7pm at Book Culture on Columbus, 450 Columbus Avenue. Published by Armida Books, The Seamstress of Ourfa is available at Amazon, as an ebook from Google Play, and at bookstores everywhere.
